Another great article. I have at least 10 people I know who would benefit greatly from this article, after recovering from the cognitive dissonance it would cause them to experience (lol). We need this viewpoint. Both parties are so caught up in blaming each other they will double down before looking at their own contributions to our polarization, which only makes them more prone to bickering and finger-pointing. it's a vicious cycle and it needs to stop. This article is a key step in the right direction.

Hi, Ben. Nice to see you here. Glad you liked this piece also. Feel free to share it with those 10 people and more! But, yeah, you're right-- maybe I should add trigger warnings to my articles that say "may cause cognitive dissonance." Because they all do, for the most part.
